Legend is an obsolete creature type.
Only one creature of the same name, with this creature type, could be in play at the same time. For a while, they were even on the restricted list, meaning there could be only one creature of the same name in each deck. [1]
Legend was replaced by the supertype Legendary in Champions of Kamigawa. [2]
